Hmmmm, chapter 2…
Scientific method, the definition of scientific method is system of gathering
data so that bias and error in measurement are reduced. Basically this topic
taught me that there a few method used in learning human brain. I’ll narrow it
down into two basic category. And I came up with these category and I couldn’t
confirm its true or not. But yes maybe. First category is naturally. Observing
a person without involving yourself. Learning how they think without forcing
them how to think and what you expect them to think. For example, let’s talk
about football. I’m sure everyone knows a great footballer doesn’t matter who.
The best footballer in the world, maybe a friend of yours or whoever he is. Do
you ever wonder how they became so good at it? Some people are born talented.
Some are inspired to be one. Some are forced to be one. Maybe it all happen at
the same time. It happens naturally, maybe family issue or whatever it is. Same
goes everything we do in our life. Everything occurs naturally. And each
situation leads to another and another. Like the theory of time travelling, if
you change something from the past, even one word may change everything in the
future. So question is, how is it possible to study human brain if need to
investigate every single detail of a person’s life which is beyond impossible.
Next category, is
involving. Involving yourself in a person life to know about their life. For
example, surveys, interviews or maybe just simply asking questions. As my
lecturer said and I believe it is true, people changes their mind easily. You
could make them tell stories about their lives in the past. You can force them
to tell the bad history of their life. But to human, admitting bad things they
have done in life may be humiliating. So people tend to lie. I think this is
totally true. Even I myself would lie. Even to a complete stranger who has the
possibility not seeing any more in the future. For example, let’s say I broke
up with my girlfriend. If people ask me, who’s fault is it? For sure I don’t
want to be the bad guy. That’s when information are delivered differently. So
this category end up having its own weakness.
On my opinion, there are
infinite questions about human brain, and there no definite answer for each of
them. You could learn them, you could experiment humans, but have you made an
experiment on yourself? If you have, did it turn out well? If doesn’t maybe
people should by now understand human are one of god’s best creation. Each
people are special……
